  • HI, on the 14th of May 2019 my world came crashing down, we had gone to see the specialsed, by our GP because of a slight problem with hubby's kidney it turned out to be advanced kidney cancer, there was no cure he had pallitive removal of his kidney in June 2019, immunotheraphy only option regarding spots on his lungs to slow the spread down.

    For the first months after he been diagnosed I was was frightened to go to sleep incase he was taken from me horrible time, glad to say with immunotherapy he is still with me,good days we make the most of them bad days we get through them.

    Be kind to yourself

  • Hi 

    Thank you for your reply I'm really sorry for your husband's diagnoses.

    It's really hard to get your head round it feels like the world has stopped.

    I'm like you in terrified incase I lose him 

    My husband has advanced stomach cancer he has has 3 doses radiotherapy and 2 cycles of chemo he was due to start the 3rd cycle last Friday but they have put it off till this Friday.

    The side effects from the second cycle have been brutal. 

    I think the worse thing for us is the waiting for the ct scan results at end of the 3rd cycle I hope with all my heart that it's shrunk and all the pain and side effects have been worth it .

    I'm not sure what immunotherapy is ? 

    I feel like I'm in a nightmare it feels like all the plans we had are just fading away . All of our kids are grown up and settled so it was going to be time for us to do things holidays etc. 

    I just keep trying to stay postive.

    There's not many good days for us at moment but hopefully things will get better soon.

    My husband cancer is inoperable too. So everything counts on the chemo doing it's job now .

    Thankyou again for reply . You both take care x
